The 2024 Major League Baseball season has been great, although it wasn\u2019t as kind to some players.<\/p>\n

One player who certainly wishes they could have the 2024 season back is Arizona Diamondbacks starter Jordan Montgomery. He was a free agent last offseason and was one of the hottest pitchers in the league.<\/p>\n

Montgomery entered the last offseason with three straight seasons with an ERA of 3.83 or lower. He also helped lead the Texas Rangers to the World Series last offseason after he was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n

He had plenty of suitors, but he didn\u2019t get a deal to his liking and took forever to sign. Montgomery eventually signed a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks very late with an option for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Montgomery had the worst season of his big league career with a 6.23 ERA in 25 appearances, including 21 starts. Now, he has to decide if he wants to pick up a $22.5 million option for 2025. It seems like a near guarantee that he will pick it up because he\u2019d get less in free agency.<\/p>\n

If he picks it up, he still could get traded and The Athletic\u2019s Jim Bowden listed the Boston Red Sox\u00a0among \u201cbest team fits\u201d<\/u>\u00a0for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan Montgomery ended up being the worst free-agent signing of last year\u2019s class,\u201d Bowden said. \u201cHe turned down a four-year offer from the Red Sox, instead agreeing to a one-year, $25 million deal with the Diamondbacks that included a $22.5 million player option for 2025. He had a disastrous year. He went 8-7 with a 6.23 ERA and averaged just 6.4 strikeouts per nine innings, the worst rate of his eight-year career.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick publicly said he hopes Montgomery doesn\u2019t exercise his player option, but the lefty has little choice as no team would offer him a similar contract in free agency this offseason. Best team fits: (Baltimore Orioles), Red Sox, (Detroit Tigers), (Minnesota Twins), (Washington Nationals).\u201d<\/p>\n

Montgomery had a bad season but he isn\u2019t a bad pitcher. If the\u00a0Red Sox<\/u>\u00a0want to add a left-handed pitcher, they should consider Montgomery again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
